A zero-length string is a perfectly valid string, and is legal within the SNMP specs. It's possible that certain SNMP applications may have difficulty with processing such a community string, but it is strictly valid. > If yes, then is there any default value that will be used or is it left to > the developer to decide? There is no default community defined in the SNMP specs. That's left up to the developer. With the Net-SNMP toolkit, this will either be "public" or the empty string, depending on how the code was originally configured.
